I am trying to call the following function from an ActiveX
object. It has a return value, plus three output parameters.
Unfortunately, the type library doesn't mark the last three
as "out", so I'm quite sure MakePy didn't generate a wrapper
which will help me.
long GetObjectAtXY(
[in] long x,
[in] long y,
[in] BSTR* pName, /* output */
[in] BSTR* pLink, /* output */
[in] long* plReserved); /* output */
def GetObjectAtXY(self, x=defaultNamedNotOptArg,
y=defaultNamedNotOptArg,
pName=defaultNamedNotOptArg,
pLink=defaultNamedNotOptArg,
plReserved=defaultNamedNotOptArg):
"""Get information about the object at a set of coordinates."""
return self._oleobj_.InvokeTypes(0x5f, LCID, 1, (3, 0),
((3, 1), (3,1), (16392, 1), (16392, 1), (16387, 1)),
x, y, pName, pLink, plReserved)
I was wondering if there is an incantation I can use which
will allow me to do...
In Visual Basic, one would use:
ret = GetObjectAtXY(x,y,name,link,res)
I'd like to do the following in Python...
ret, name, link, res = GetObjectAtXY(x,y)
Is this even remotely possible? If not, is there a description
of the low-level hoops that I could possibly jump through?
Thank you so much.
